Darklands Roleplay

Sabina groans as the headache worsens more, something she thiught wasn’t possible, and the man screaming outside her tent didn’t help. “That’s quite a bit of time.” She can’t take the noise. She stands slowly and begins to make her way to the fromt of the tent. “Excuse me for one moment.”

Arden continued shouting outside of the tent. He looked around in a panic, scanning for someone - anyone - to help him, but no one answered his calls.

Nadine follows watching the man. "Stop causing a scene you will only make things worse." She hissed at him.

Although Zeon doubts what Kaden told him, he nods. "I'm sorry, how did it happen?"

“They were attacked by...animals.” He says, nodding his head. “What about yours?”

Arden stopped mid-cry before turning towards the tent. "Excuse me? Do you even know what's going on?!" He yelled at the mystery girl. He laughed awkwardly for a second. "No! No, you don't! Of course you don't!" He walked forward to her before pointing towards the gate. "My family is dead, my friends are dead, so many people whom I trusted are now dead, and no one is able to help me!"

"There's no need to get everyone else here in a panic." Nadine crosses her arms. "Why don't you explain somewhere that isn't so public?"

Zeon debates on telling Kaden about his family, but he decided it was better not to. It would reveal too much about Zeon. "They died in a fire."

Arden shifted anxiously, looking around at everyone as they whispered amongst themselves. “I...” he faltered. “Yeah. I suppose. May I come in?” He asked with a sigh.

"You'll have to ask her." Nadine sighs looking to Sabrina

Sabina steps out of her tent to stare at Arden with a gaping mouth. She lifts a finger and points at him. “You!” She gasps, her migraine melting away into a dull throb. She looks to Nadine. “I’ve seen hos face too!”

Arden looked around before awkwardly laughing and pointing at himself. “Me? That’s not possible. This was - er, is - my first Pilgrimage, and even then, we don’t make it this far south for it.” He sighed again. “Look, you have to help me.”

Sabina shakes her head. “I’ve seen you before.” She insists and motions him into the tent. “Come in.”

"She said the same thing about me." Nadine explains.

Arden ground his teeth but followed them into the tent. “Just... let’s get this going.”

She slips inside her tent and sits down. This is the best she’s felt in weeks, and she can’t help but smile to herself. “What do you need?” Sabina asks.

Arden sighed as he sat down into a chair. "Look. I'm not crazy, alright? We got attacked on the road, on our Pilgrimage. Whatever attacked my people, it... I don't know, it wasn't human. And I know that sounds crazy, but there's... something out there, near Bleal Cril. The city is desolated, empty. I just...." he trailed off before breathing quickly. "I don't know what's happening. There was a kid before it all, who-who-who shot fire?! From his hands! I don't know what's going on anymore, or if this is all a dream, or what." His head dropped into his waiting hands.

Sabina extends her hands palms up and rests them on the table. “Place your palms on mine, and picture what happened in your mind.” She looks him in the eyes. “Show me the boy with fire, and the something.”

Arden eyed her warily, but complied. He shut his eyes and pictured everything with a pained expression on his face the entire time.

“Oh.” Kaden nods. “I’m sorry to hear that.” He looks down at his hand, fire. He goes into a trance for about a minute before looking out the window. “Looks like it stopped raining.”

"Another person with magic capabilities?" Nadine asks

Sabina grits her teeth throigh the entire experiece. The sights, sounds, and smells make her want to turn and vomit, but she holds fast. The boy with the fire hands particularly grabs her attention. She somewhat recognizes him as well, but because it’s from someone else’s memory, not all of the details are specific. The creatures, however, send shivers down her spine. Her nightmares go just like this, but only there are different people getting hurt, or even no creatures at all. She yanks her hands from his and her eyes snap open.

Arden's eyes opened at the same time, before he looked down and closed them again. "Now you've seen what I see." He stayed silent for some time. "If it's true that you have seen me before... what do you know?"

Sabina looked back at Arden. “Just visions, snippets of your life. Mostly it’s just your face in my dreams, but I know that something is cold when I see you.” She points to Nadine. “And I get a flying feeling with you.”

Arden laughed inwardly again. "Yeah, no shit you feel something cold. I'm from Siglid, couldn't you gather that from the Pilgrimage? There's nothing but cold up there."
